Work with a map

The ArcGIS for Windows Phone application is designed for exploring and working with maps. Once you have opened a map of interest, there are a number of tasks you can perform:

• View map details to see what the map is designed to show.
• View the legend to learn what the symbols on the map represent.
• View feature information to learn about a particular feature on the map.
• Show your location to see what is around you and view your geographic relationship with features.
• Change the basemap to see the data with a different context, such as streets or topography.
• Change layer visibility to add or remove layers from displaying, allowing you to focus on the content of interest to you.
• Navigate the map to explore different geographic areas.
• Use bookmarks to save and locate areas of interest.
• Search for place names to identify and locate specific locations.
• Measure on the map to identify the length and area of items visible on the map.
• Use secured services to open data that has been secured on either ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Online for organizations.
• Run a predefined query to explore the relationships the author identified as important in the map.
• Add a map to your favorites or remove a map from your favorites to maintain a list of maps that interest you, making it easy to return to them.
• Pin a map to Start to open the app displaying a particular map, skipping the Map Hub experience.
